Welding Defects and their Types Introduction Welding defects are unacceptable imperfections that occur during the welding process. Weld quality depends on the mechanical properties of the materials, it can be quantitative or qualitative. Mostly “fit-for-service” approach is used i.e., the fabricated weld can perform the intended service. But in some …
